This isn't enough
- Ford next. Media needs to keep pressure up.
  
  Ford MUST GO! How the F is it this man who was given literally BAGS of money in public by real estate developer friends with stroke of a pen made them billionaires still in office? How is that kind of corruption ALLOWED to happen in a democracy like this?
  
  The media? Email your MPP.
And with that the scandal is swept under the rug.
- Hopefully not. There's no (legitimate) reason why this would prevent an investigation by the RCMP. Also, Ryan Amato’s resignation didn't sweep it under the rug either, on the contrary. In my eyes, this puts everyone in the spotlight to get to the bottom of what actually happened here.
They're not serious until they reverse the decision. Until that point it's theatre.
- It's pretty telling that they'd rather have a chief of staff and cabinet minister resign than implement #15.
- Let's see how far they'll go: https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/doug-ford-says-the-province-will-review-and-re-evaluate-all-lands-in-the-greenbelt/article_ca13c0f6-9f64-5413-97ac-33eb9ef14d0e.html
  Edit: Oh wait, they aren't re-evaluating the 14 sites that were carved out using the flawed process! They are just looking to give out more land swaps to other land owners!
  
  “There’s going to be a complete review, from top to bottom,” of up to 800 parcels of Greenbelt land, Ford said, although it remains unclear what, if any, changes it might bring.
  🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦
And another one down,
Another one down,
Another goes under the bus!
- All he gave up was his title. He's staying on as an MPP, keeping his job, keeping his paycheck, keeping his benefits and pension.
Although my initial thought was that I could stay in this role and establish a proper process so that these mistakes don’t happen again...
I wouldn't trust most of the Ontario Progressive Conservative MPPs to be able to establish it in a way that doesn't unreasonably favour their donors...
Now he needs to be drawn and quartered and returned to the Earth/Greenbelt
I wonder what nice cushy job he will get next?
- He's keeping his MPP job. He just resigned as minister. Don't worry, his pension and benefits are safe and he still has his job.
